Because there were no guidelines for assigning those numbers at first, and unless your system mastery was super-strong, you would over or undershoot your target frequently. Worse, what happens when, while counting those numbers, and your internal consistency requires you to say “they were...

I’ve not been killed, but I’ve presided over at least 6 character deaths in 5e so far. Lowest one was 1st level, eaten by a grey ooze.

Problem is, your bug is my feature, so the answers are going to differ widely depending on how one sees it. Having NPC use the same back-end mechanics as PCs used to drive me crazy in 3e, 3.5, and Pathfinder because they had dozens of stats I didn’t need for someone who was going to last for one...

The review was fine, very useful. Truth be told, I think the 7E QuickStart rules does a better job of selling the game than the Starter Set, for precisely the reasons @JeffB mentioned.

You just triggered a (now hilarious) memory for me: when my Mom started taking an interest in what this “D&D” thing was, in the Height of the Satanic Panic, she looked it over, gave it back, and said, “just don’t show it to your Aunt or the other people at Church,” and that was that. 🥰

If you can make it happen, go for it! The hardest part is organizing the group...

Dear Explorers Guide to Wildemount, HURRY THE 🤬 UP AND GET HERE ALREADY!!!!

Dear @Morrus, thank you for keeping this forum running and being a virtual pub for us nerds to gather, long after so many of the other pubs in the neighborhood have shut down. Every time I leave and come back, it’s like leaving town for a long stint, coming back and finding out that the pub that...

I also have to disagree with 2nd edition clerics being very generic compared to 3rd edition clerics. It is true, if looking at solely the PHB; however, with the 2nd edition Legends And Lore book, it completely transforms the cleric of each god into a class unto itself. That book, which not only...

Bless you for doing so, sir, and best of well wishes to your family.

For those interested in the old Dragonstrike VHS, it’s out there on the Internet if one wants to go looking for it. I won’t post links because: 1) It’s technically still under copyright 2) I wouldn’t want to get anyone in trouble for doing so I really do miss the old Heroquest game, though. It...

whats funny is that you just reminded me that someone did release a 3rd party conversion of Barrier Peaks on DMsGuild. Not related to the thread, but now I have a VERY strong desire to run a 5e version of Barrier Peaks for a group as a limited series. Limited because I don’t want to deal with...

I believe Paizo has done a pretty good job of advancing the Golarion timeline, it’s a good example of resolving things while at the same time making more complications to replace them, without taking away the adventuring environment or making major missteps. Even their biggest changes (bringing...

Keith Baker said something concerning this in a podcast recently. (I can’t remember if it was Morrus’ ENWorld podcast or a Manifest Zone.) Keith said that the tricky thing about moving the timeline in Eberron would be the nature of things following the Last War - if you, say, reveal the secret...

Since “congratulations” seem so passé by now, I submit: Goblin cheers for Logan Logan Bonner design game, He will set bad rules Aflame! crunch the DC, chop the Feats, make class features tasty treats! Logan Bonner, chief rules dude! Bad Rules run, or you be food!

One thing to consider is that Wizards have many more area effect spells than warlocks, so the improvement of save DCs will go further than improving a warlock‘s save DC, whose spells are typically more focused on one or two targets. so a wizard with an item that improves save DCs is a great find...

Reminds me of the day my engine fell out of the bottom of my car at 75mph on the interstate, while driving home from work. Got lucky and didn’t die. Had to walk two miles in driving rain with no umbrella or rain coat, to call my wife to pick me up (pre-cell phone), to come home to a backflowed...

Yeah. I'm up to date on Campaign 2, but only because i've followed it real-time. I never completely watched Campaign 1, but I don't feel left out because I read over those recaps, and googled any key moments that people kept bringing up in Reddit/Twitter/etc.
